I couldn't wait for my new pickguard/switches. I just got an SSL-1/6 pair in the mail, (thanks Stratcat), and had to try them out. I now have the Cool Rails in the bridge, Vintage Staggered (SSL-1 RWRP) in the middle, and the Custom Flat (SSL-6) in the neck. I know, its an odd combo, but its a marriage of circumstance.

I've been browsing musiciansfriend.com for pups and found this interesting thing:
They call it DiMarzio Multibucker, which is the brotherhood of Chopper amp; Fast Track single coils in a size of a standard humbucker! The lovely thing is that both are humbucking, hum-free coils! Chopper is an real humbucker while Fast Track is a single coil sounded! ...must be one hell of a versitile busta!

I'm getting a carvin 7 string pretty soon, should be done on may 5th, And i already got a Custom/59 hybrid for the bridge position, but am at a bit of a loss for what to do with the neck and middle pickups (HSH style guitar).

How do you like it?

Haven't owned a tele in years, the fender necks are just way to narrow for my paws and the 7 1/2 radius just didn't work for me. I played a Gamp;L ASAT Classic a few weeks back and loved it, it had the Gamp;L #4 neck which is shaped similar to the neck on my '57 reissue Lester, it felt great! I put my Legacy Deluxe up on ebay with the intention of selling it and buying a new ASAT Classic (no mention of a trade in the add), out of no where I got a trade offer from a local fellow for his mint ASAT Classic. This thing has the #4 neck and all the upgrades. The stock Gamp;L pickups were swapped out for a custom shop nocaster neck and texas special bridge (I never have like the Gamp;L pickups, they should contract with SD for all their pickups). I got to take it out and play it today, this little guitar kicks butt. Sounds awesome through my little 18 watt combo. How cool!!!
great axes

The Lava Cable Raffle for Hurricane Katrina is complete. $5325 was donated! Thanks to all those who contributed!

My amp is 60w and has 3 speakers. Each speaker is rated at 5.3 Ohms and is wired in series. So the whole amp is 16 Ohms. Does this mean if I put an extension cab on it should be a 16 Ohm cab? Because I can't find one anywhere.

i heard some guy say that you cant use effects pedals with modeling amps , because the amp doesnt handle them well and it sounds bad. is this true? i have a modeling amp but id still like to get some pedals like a tubescreamer and a wah.

I ve been playin a custom black beauty tripple humbucker for a few years now. I play in a band that writes and covers bands like GNR, Aerosmith...... I am wondering what would be a good pick up to try and duplicate a sound more like slashes les pauls? thanks

Okay, here's a question that most likely was asked before, but....

Hi guys.. Anyone here ever try the Tech 21 Tri Od ? If so, did you use it direct? I mean going to the PA or Mixer while jamming with a band? If so, tell me about it? Did it work good? Does it have that tube feel? Tech 21 wrote me and said it would or could be too compressed if I used the Tri Od as a preamp and then used a tube power amp.. They said I should go directly to the board because the Tri Od has a power amp imulator?

I posted this awhile back, and I'm doing it again since we seem to have more members, and more folks with the technology to find this peice of artwork.

Does anyone know about this wood? How widely is it used? Any high profile companies using it? What are it's tonal properties? I read just now that it's used as a cheep substitute for mahogany, but I've never heard of it before. Here's a picture I pulled off of google images:

Ok - I've been playing guitar for most of my life (over 30 years), but never recorded anything. Time to change that!

after the holiday break , my parents are takin me to the nearest GC to shop around and if i find somethin they'll lert me borrow some $$$, and possibly sell my jackson rhoads. so does anybody have any good recomndations on what kinda of guitar i should try in the 0-500$$ range? i was looking at a shecter 006, s-1 and tempest and the PRS SE line.

i was about to buy a jcm 900 100 watter combo for 575 bucks but after reading about it i decide not to buy it , i want metal up the ass tone , all tube combo ???? help please if i dont buy it this week im gonna spend the money !!!!!!!!

Yesterday I went to GC and traded that POS Marshall JCM 4212 towards a Vox AC30CC2. I've been wanting a Brit amp for a long time and since the Marshall turned out to be a lemon I figured I'd dump it while I could. At least now I know 1st hand why people bash on the channel switching JCM 800's - They Suck! Anyway, the AC30 is a nice amp, but I'm having a tough time dialing a tone that I like. I tried the suggested settings on the hang tag, but the overdrive/gain seems to be a little too fizzy/buzzy. Is the distortion on the AC30 supposed to be like that? Or is this amp a lemon too? Any info is appreciated. BTW, I'm trying to get a good classic rock crunch sound. The sound I'm getting now nails Mudhoney's tone, but I'm looking for an AC/DC or Rose Tattoo sound.
